FIM-E Rider Update: Lipponen sees the Positives after Super Twin Opener
Lipponen sees the positives after FIM-E Super Twin Opener
After a frame-up overhaul of his blown OHC V-Twin, Vesa “First into the Fives” Lipponen spent a lot of the recent Main Event weekend thrashing to get the bike to the line, let alone putting in a competitive appearance at the FIM-E Super Twin championship opener. In the end, a rolling double-digit qualifier got the Finn into eliminations, but a puff of exhaust smoke ended his day. Despite these setbacks, Vesa is confident the team has a handle on what went wrong.
